8 JACK CHECK
8.1
INSPECTION
8.1.1 Inspections types
(1) Introductory inspection: it precedes first use. The responsible competent person
must check up all new or repaired jacks to ensure the qualified fulfilment of
requirements of this OM.
(2) The jack inspections carried out regularly are generally divided to two groups
according to inspections intervals. Intervals depend on the state of critical parts of
the jack and rate of wear, damage or malfunction. Two main groups are here
marked as daily and regular ones. The appropriate intervals are defined as follows:
(a) Daily inspection:
visual inspection carried out by the operation staff determined by
the user that is made at the beginning of each use.
(b) Regular inspection:
visual inspection carried out by the competent person
determined by the user.
Current operation – once a year,
1) Heavy operation – every six month,
2) Special or occasional operation – according to recommendations of the competent
person at first use and according to the order of qualified employees (maintenance
workers).
8.1.2 Daily inspection
Check up at parts recommended in Section 8.2(1) „Daily inspection“, whether the jacks
are not damaged nor have no defect. Carry out this inspection also during operation in
the interval between regular inspections. Qualified employees will determine whether
any defect or damage can constitute a hazard and whether the detailed inspection is
necessary.
8.1.3 Regular inspection
Carry out overall inspections of the jack in the form of recommended regular
inspections. The recommended regular inspection stated in Section 8.2(2) must be
performed under the supervision of competent persons who will determine, whether the
jack is necessary to be taken to parts. These inspections comprise also requirements of
the daily inspection.
8.1.4 Jack occasionally used
(1) Submit the jack not being in operation for a period of one month or longer but less
than a year to inspection complying with requirements in Section 8.1.2 before follow-
up putting it into operation.
(2) Submit he jack not being in operation for a period of one year to inspection
complying with requirements in Section 8.1.3 before follow-up putting it into
operation.
8.1.5 Report on inspection
Keep the record of performed tests, repairs, inspections and maintenances of jacks
every time. Carry out dating reports on inspections in intervals specified in Section 8.1.1
(2) (b) and keep them in the place specified by the user.
The person responsible for safety and determined by the user must be advised of
defects detected by the inspection or recorded during the operation.
